Careful with your fact checking when tim tams are at stake - 15:34
For some reason I placed a bet about some capability of a new piece of
hardware at work with a colleague. His terms were a packet of my preferred
biscuits (dark chocolate tim tams) to the winner. So I sat own and tested the
fact we were discussing in this hardware. At first look it appeared I had been
wrong. So I told him and gave him a packet of tim tams from my office supply.
For some reason I still was surprised by this so I did some deeper checking
and realised I had been correct all along, I simply had done my testing wrong
and thus I had in actuality won the bet. Though this was about 15 minutes
later the tim tams were almost entirely gone by then, wow, you really need to
be careful with your fact checking when chocolate is on the line.
